[embed]https://youtu.be/okBaXC3w7Lc[/embed] The HDF Group CEO Dave Pearah presented the new HDF5 Enterprise Support Edition and HDF5 Community Edition in a community webinar on May 18, 2018—that video is attached above. In the interest of efficiency, we clipped the live Q&A session from the webinar and have instead compiled the questions we've received on Twitter, on the forum, and during the webinar into one continually evolving FAQ on our site: https://www.hdfgroup.org/faq-enterprise-support-edition/ We would love to have your contribution to the discussion. Please feel free to chime in on the forum, it's the best avenue for the community and The HDF Group to respond and keep track of the discussion: https://forum.hdfgroup.org/t/4374/...
